If you sell on eBay, do you hook up to your main bank & cc accounts?

Or do you hook up to separate bank and credit card accounts? I'm wondering if this is necessary for security reasons.

We opened a seperate bank account for our pay pal /ebay linked account. We only keep a small amount of money in this account. As to credit card my pay pal is also a credit card as I was one of the first people using pay pal. My ebay fees are taken out of that card.

Thanks! I'm going to hook up to a minor bank account then.

I'm getting so confused. I set up a new PayPal account for Premier service. Does eBay allow me to specify this only in my seller account? Or do I need to change all of my eBay (buying as well as selling) to this Premier account? Of course, it's not verified yet so I can't hook it up yet to automatic eBay fee payments.

I am sorry to say I have no idea. I have been with ebay for 8+ years and it was a lot easier when I signed up. I wish I could help you more, sorry.

Thanks. I am slowly and torturously working my way through the online tutorials, set up a test item in turbolister, etc. I can see it's going to take me a week to figure out how to list my first items. :tongue_smilie: Still, if other people can figure it out I'm pretty sure I will -- eventually.

I'm pretty sure eBay just has one email address, so I already changed mine to the new Premier PayPal account. I was concerned about using that account to pay for things, since it will be linked to the low-balance checking account, but then I realized that I can always change PayPal accounts when paying for an item. (Not that we're going to be buying much off eBay anytime soon!)

It helps just to know other people have figured out how to do this. :grouphug:
